✨ Features

• Thin & minimal low-level HTTP client to interact with Algolia's API
• Supports Python from 3.8 to 3.12

💡 Getting Started

First, install Algolia Python API Client via the pip package manager:

pip install --upgrade 'algoliasearch>=4.0,<5.0'

Now you can initialize any client with your Algolia credentials, for example the SearchClient:

from algoliasearch.search.client import SearchClient

client = SearchClient.create("YOUR_APP_ID", "YOUR_API_KEY")

Add new object to your index:

save_resp = await client.save_object(index_name="nvim", body={"description": "blazing fast"})

Wait for the task to be processed on the Algolia side

await client.wait_for_task(index_name="nvim", task_id=save_resp.task_id)

Finally, you may begin searching a object using the search method:

# using a raw dict

search_resp = await client.search(search_method_params={"requests": [{"indexName": "nvim"}]})

# using the given models

from algoliasearch.search.models.search_method_params import SearchMethodParams
from algoliasearch.search.models.search_for_hits import SearchForHits
from algoliasearch.search.models.search_query import SearchQuery

search_resp = await client.search(
    search_method_params=SearchMethodParams(
        requests=[
            SearchQuery(SearchForHits(index_name="nvim")),
        ],
    ),
)

print(search_resp.to_json())
